Thursday's story ideas

Fourth of July preps. How do those who actually shoot off fireworks set these things up? Might also be nice to do a live shot with a family staying home instead of the usual live shot talking about traffic.

ATMs at banks are safer than those at other locations. Those in stores can be tampered with a lot easier.

The US will soon release a coin with readable braille on it. Which begs the question, how do the blind tell the difference between the denominations of paper money?

What's the best way to cook vegetables and retain as much of the nutritional value as possible?

Here's an interesting twist to high gas prices. Can companies no longer afford to outsource work abroad because of high shipping costs?

FEMA is getting good grades for its work in flood zones. What's improved since Katrina?

Police departments are setting up anonymous text message "tip lines" to encourage kids to report crimes via their cell phones.
